Worst on the Right
Right Wing News has posted the results of its contest to see who right-wing bloggers least like among those considered to be on the right. Here are the rules:
All bloggers were allowed to make anywhere from 1-12 unranked selections and were allowed to choose anybody on the right or generally perceived to be on the right that they liked: Republican, Conservative, Libertarian, politician, preacher, blogger, columnist, radio host, you name it!
The field was wide open -- with two exceptions that I didn't want to clutter up the list since they have absolutely no support in the party: racist David Duke, who never won national office and Democrat Fred Phelps of God Hates F@gs fame, who often get misidentified as Republicans.
Without further ado, here are the right-of-center bloggers' least favorite people on the right with the number of votes beside of each selection in parentheses:
[Me again: Anything in bold, I strongly agree with.]
18) Tom Tancredo (4)
18) Ralph Reed (4)
18) Newt Gingrich (4)
18) Lincoln Chafee (4)
18) James Dobson (4)
18) George Pataki (4)
18) Arnold Schwarzenegger (4)
14) Tom DeLay (5)
14) Rush Limbaugh (5)
14) George Voinovich (5)
14) Chuck Hagel (5)
13) Andrew Sullivan (6)
11) Tucker Carlson (7)
11) Bob Novak (7)
9) Sean Hannity (8)
9) Rick Santorum (8)
8) Arlen Specter (10)
7) Jerry Falwell (15.5)
6) Bill O'Reilly (16)
5) Michael Savage (17)
4) Pat Robertson (19.5)
3) Ann Coulter (20)
2) John McCain (21)
1) Pat Buchanan (28)
Many of those not in bold aren't my favorite people on the right, but I don't want to expel them from the right either. Pataki/Schwarzenegger/Hagel/Chafee/Voinovich aren't really conservatives. Neither is McCain really. (My feelings for Ann Coulter vary -- right now, I'm not a fan. O'Reilly can be really obnoxious.) I actually really like Ralph Reed and Sean Hannity and I would vote for Senator Santorum. Falwell and Robertson used to be a little crazy but they've moderated their views. What say you?
